ADHD Awareness Week

ADHD Awareness Month was a great success last year, with events and activities happening all across the country, in other countries and on the Internet, capturing the notice of numerous regional and local media outlets resulting in articles, interviews & feature stories.

The theme for this year's ADHD Awareness Month is...

"The Many Faces of ADHD”

We want to make this year’s events even better than last years, and we need everyone’s participation, so...

We have prepared an ADHD Awareness Month toolkit ready for you. DOWNLOAD IT HERE.

ADDA was part of a historic partnership of organizations who came together to promote ADHD Awareness Week: CHADD, ACO and ADDitude Magazine. This collaboration led to the creation of the website ADHD Awareness Month where you can find information about ADHD and links to the other organizations’ awareness activities. We encourage you to visit the site and use the materials in your community.

You Can Help Increase Awareness

One of the easiest and most effective things you can do to promote awareness in your own community is to print the poster below and post it in your community on bulletin boards or in the windows of local businesses. A small amount of time can make a tremendous difference.

Find 7 Facts everyone should know about ADHD that can be emailed or downloaded, printed, and posted.

Discover what you can do by reviewing the list of activities members of the public can engage in to help promote awareness.

Once you've planned your ADHD Awareness Month activity, we will help you by promoting your event on our website. Just visit our event submission page and we'll do the rest!

Download the useful resources below, vetted by national experts, and spread them widely in your place of work, community, and schools!

We also encourage you to notify your local library and/or bookstores about awareness week and to ask them if they could make a special display table of books about ADHD and to perhaps include the flier. Even if they simply use books that they already have on the shelf, this draws additional attention to the cause.

ADDA is the world’s leading non-profit organization for adults with ADHD. Since the beginning, ADDA has led nationwide awareness activities in an effort to accomplish its mission of providing hope, encouragement and connection worldwide, for adults with ADHD and the professionals who serve them.
